OK...

Yep, TortoiseSVN seems much more mature than RapidSVN. It reduced the 
checkout byte count to something fairly reasonable, etc.

The reason I prefer a separate client to the explore plug-in is to be able 
to see the branch/tag. That prevents mistakes due to me being confused 
about which branch/tag/revision is currently the working copy for a file. 
Perhaps that isn't a problem with Subversion, or there is a way to get 
TortoiseSVN to display the current branch/tag, or at least some indication 
that the current copy is not the HEAD.

Thanks,
